Getting \"cute\" HU against the BB
This play needs a name. I think it should be called the "cutie" in tribute to Bob's sexy. You know, since it's like the sexy, but a little premature.
I got the play from a thread Carlo posted in Mid-High a while back and I like it. BB in this hand is LAGTAG (31/12/2). Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (9 max, 8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Preflop: I am the SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">I raise</font>, BB calls. Flop: (4 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">I bet</font>, BB calls. Turn: (3 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> I check [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] |

Re: Getting \"cute\" HU against the BB
Well, it would work against me.
If I had, say, 64s in the BB, I would probably bet here. Edit: Then again, if I had something like 87o, would I bet here or check with outs? I'm not sure. But, in any event, your LAGTAG opponent isn't me, and your play looks like a good one to me. |

As long as you check here with a missed hand, or he has a history of pouncing on turn weakness. I usually bet here with a missed hand so I'd bet here too, I might get to 3 bet.

Re: Getting \"cute\" HU against the BB
sometimes it's even cuter when you get to bet-3bet the turn.
but this spot isnt horrible to c/r IMO. |

Re: Getting \"cute\" HU against the BB
I love seeing new plays, but how much long term value do you think this play has?
I want the guy to be pretty aggressive if I'm making this move and I also want him seeing lots of showdowns if I'm making this move. |

I do this a lot, but I don't like it on this board. The flop was straight-draw-heavy and now there's two spades on the board. If I were villain on a draw, I'd check behind.

This play has a name already, I believe: a screwplay. NLSoldier's been posting lots of screwplay hands in HUSH over the last several weeks.
